The Actors Guild commended President Tinubu’s support for the sector, citing the creation of the Ministry of Creative Economy, the launch of the Creative Economy Development Fund, skills development initiatives, intellectual property monetisation efforts, global partnerships, and talent export programs.
Dr. Rollas assured the president of the guild’s continued support for the administration’s agenda on creativity, culture and tourism.
